Now, our president has stated that U. S. arms and troops, through NATO, may be employed in order that Kosovo's declaration of 'independence' be assured!

With ex-KGB goon Laborc as chairman of NATO intelligence, how can Americans look upon that organization with anything other than disdain?

[quote]Afghanistan is immensely distant from what has always been known as the North Atlantic region. Yet forces from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) are now conducting the military operations in that country. This situation came about because NATO is a United Nations subsidiary and is, once again, being employed as the UN’s military arm.[/quote]

WRONG. NATO is engaged in Afghanistan because a NATO member was attacked by a terrorist organization harbored by Afghanistan’s Taliban regime. That is totally within the NATO charter. That was the whole purpose of the alliance.

NATO has outlived its usefulness and it is long past time for our “allies” to foot the bill for their own defense to the degree that they are interested.

One of the areas that this President was a complete failure at was his policy towards Russia, he pretty provoked them, and his continuation of the Kosovo tragedy time will tell is a mistake. The most freedom loving and staunchest allies in our war on terror are found in Eastern Europe, as for this Hungarian Laborc I really would not worry about it.

UN Charter Chapter Eight is about the creation of regional alliances. It does not create NATO nor does it say NATO or other alliances are the puppets of the UN. The author of this article is letting his prejudices get in the way of his understanding of English, just as gun grabbers let that happen in regards to the second amendment.
